Beca is just relieved she can talk about it all now.

She said: "We filmed it a couple of weeks ago and it was really surreal. I was just so nervous - which is strange as I don't normally get nervous. I am very sure of myself but boy, I have to have a very large gin and tonic!"

The mother-of-two featured in the BBC series, before it's move to Channel 4 this year.

"Paul was just as he always, straight to the point, but it's good to have feedback and they can see how we’ve improved - or not. He was lovely, we had a laugh. It was also amazing meeting Prue, she's a hero of mine. Meeting Noel and sandi was strange as I was so used to being with Mary, Mel and Sue but it was just lovely to be back there and they both love the show.

"When I was asked to do it I did umm and ahh for a while. It was because I had such a heavy workload with the new series and getting my book out. I am so impressed that I managed to fit everything in and not spill the beans!"
